Winston’s Gang aims to draw youth to campus sporting events

Organizers of Westminster College’s new children’s club, Winston’s Gang, are hoping for a good turnout at the group’s first event: Senior night for the men’s and women’s basketball teams on Feb. 18.

The purpose of Winston’s Gang, according to senior Kathryn Leetch, is “to get Fulton and Westminster connected,” by inviting area children through eighth grade to attend Westminster sporting events and letting them get to know the athletes.

“We want them to feel comfortable here,” Leetch said. “We’ve always wanted the people of Fulton to come see our games, and we want to go out in town and get involved.”
